Bitesize Bluebeam for Administrative Professionals

Administrative teams have unique document workflows that demand a different set of tools compared to design and construction teams. A typical Bluebeam class concentrates on design markups, estimating, and collecting field data, but this class is very different! In just two hours you’ll be ready to combine documents, mark for redaction, apply digital signatures, and several other important administrative tasks.   

Learning Objectives:  

• Extracting pages from existing documents  

• Use Redaction to quickly clean sensitive information from documents  

• Creating and applying digital signatures  

• Updating Page Labels  

• Applying headers and footers  

• Search document text and visual symbols  

• Apply stamps  

• Flag important content in documents  

You will need a fully functioning version of Bluebeam Revu® 2018 or newer. Any Windows version is ok (Standard, CAD, or eXtreme). The Mac version will not work. If you have an older version, you can download a trial and install it ‘side by side’ with your existing install. This will allow you to continue to use your older version without losing your license and you can use the new version to follow along in the training. 

You can download a free 30-day trial of Bluebeam Revu® here.

3.  A mouse with scroll wheel (Mandatory) - In Bluebeam, there are several right-click shortcuts, and the wheel will help you zoom in/out on documents.
4.  Webcam (Mandatory) – in order to engage and collaborate, participants will be expected to have their webcams on for the duration of the class.
5. Microphone (Mandatory)
6.  Internet connection - For best results, you will want to ensure you have an internet connection with an upload/download speed of 3-5 Mbps. You can test your internet speed here. The minimum recommended speed is 1.5 Mbps, but anything below 3 Mbps may result in loss of quality or buffering. Ideally hardwired connection versus wireless for stability - connect your computer directly to your router using an ethernet cable, rather than using your home wi-fi.
